Chapter 369: The Grand Canal (2)

"Lao Yao, don't sit at home all the time, often go to the well room, look at the dogs, look at the bean sprouts, chat with the fourth aunt Aunt Li Heizi, drink some tea, how good!"

Wanruo is gone, not only is Lao Yao silent all day long, even Zhang Rongfeng has no heart to speak, except for Yao Jian coming back from school and making some movements, this family is really as lifeless as the front yard!

Zhang Rongfeng's words were from the bottom of her heart, Wanruo's departure really moved her, and she sincerely felt sorry for Wanruo from the bottom of her heart, this is her true feeling, when she thinks of Wanruo, the tears in her eyes are often full of eyes.

Lao Yao's silence is needless to say, although he didn't see him shed tears, but everyone knows how grief-stricken he is in his heart! Wanruo came to him, never abandoned him from beginning to end, gave birth to a child or his, Wanruo's death shows that she dedicated her life to him.

Lao Yao glanced at Zhang Rongfeng, he thought that what Zhang Rongfeng said was very reasonable, and he should go, Wanruo left, Haoran was not at home, leaving a child at home, although he could not do a little bit of his father's responsibility, but staying by the child's side to accompany the child is always a mutual comfort.

"Go ahead, or shall I accompany you?" Zhang Rongfeng said again.

Lao Yao took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "No need." And he walked out of the house.

When Lao Yao passed by the door of Haoran's house, the street door was locked, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't hear any movement, as if no one had lived there. He paused for a moment, sighed deeply and shook his head, then turned and walked towards the well room.

He didn't dare to stop here for too long, no matter how strong a person is, he can't control his tears, for people like Lao Yao, this is the case in front of people, and it is also the same when no one is around, if you want to be bitter, you will suffer yourself in your heart, and only you can understand the bitterness and sweetness!

What do tears say? People are dead, don't care about tears, you just die with her grief, so what?

"Old Yao, why are you here?" The fourth aunt listened to the movement outside the door, and when she came out of the curtain, she saw that it was Lao Yao, so she hurriedly asked.

"Come out and sit down." Lao Yao walked into the room as he spoke.

"Lao Yao is here for you to make, this is freshly brewed tea, drink some water." Aunt Li hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to Lao Yao and said.

"Where's the children? Why aren't sunspots there? Lao Yao saw the fourth aunt and Aunt Li in the house, so he asked.

"After eating at noon, the old secretary sent the dog to organize the installation team outside, and the bean sprouts said that they would cook and deliver food, and left before five o'clock. You see it's not in the house yet. Aunt Li said.

"What time is it, it's time to come back?" Lao Yao asked.

"Big Daddy also went with the carriage, as well as the tractor and the drum team. Then I heard the sound of horsewhips, the tractor was back, and it was time for the sprouts and dogs to enter the house. The fourth aunt replied to Lao Yao's words and said suspiciously.

"Oh, I heard the sound of horsewhips at home, and I heard people walking in the alley talking about going out to beat drums, maybe they went together. If you want to say that they should all come back together, why are they all back, but who hasn't come back? Lao Yao took a sip of water and asked.

"I asked Kuroko to go to the brigade headquarters to see it, if they come back, they should see them, when you came in just now, I thought they were back." Aunt Li said. "The sunspots are gone, maybe the dog is still reporting to the old secretary, don't be careful, it'll be fine, come, drink water." The fourth aunt said to Lao Yao.

Lao Yao said "um", picked up the teacup, looked at the house while drinking water, and said, "Isn't the newly built house damp?" ”

"It's okay Lao Yao, look at the house where the fourth aunt lives in this house, the three stoves can be burned vigorously during the day, the windows and doors are open, God is also angry, the weather is good, the quilt is dried during the day, and I can't feel anything when I sleep at night, it's not in the way." Aunt Li said.

Lao Yao glanced at the fourth aunt and said: "Fourth aunt, I remember that in early spring, you said that you would renovate your house, what's the matter, now we are all idle, and we have a lot of effort, do you have a plan, when will it start?" Lao Yao asked.

"I think it's better to let it go, I'm a lonely old woman, just like the bean sprouts said, don't toss the fourth aunt, why are you building a house alone, I can afford to support you, you can live here, if you want to work during the day, help me do something, if you don't work, no one will say you, you will show us the door at night, such a big yard, and so many things, no one can do it, I not only support you, but also give you a salary, you also have an pocket money, don't you? Can't be short of yours! The fourth aunt said.

"Haha, this kid not only has a good heart, but also can speak, very likable." Lao Yao said with a smile.

"But what the bean sprouts said is also the truth, not a lie, isn't it all obvious? How can no one do it at night? As soon as I thought about it, I stayed. I've also figured it out, you're fine, the sunspot is here, Da Zhuang's father is also free, you will come over to play cards at night, isn't this the day we want? It can help the children and have fun, what a good thing! The fourth aunt said.

"Caught up. What a good time! Lao Yao took out a cigarette and handed it to the fourth aunt and said: "It's time for us to enjoy happiness, we people are left with this little fun, good thing, good thing!" ”

As soon as Lao Yao's words fell, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the yard. From the footsteps, you can hear that this is a person's footsteps, and from the sonorous footsteps, you can also hear that this is the footsteps of a middle-aged man.

Lao Yao's analysis was good, he was worthy of being a passerby, he quickly got up and lifted the curtain to see that the person who came was the fourth captain.

"What's the matter, Captain Four, why are you in such a hurry?" Lao Yao hurriedly asked.

"Is the old secretary here with you?" The fourth captain asked hurriedly.

"No, did you go to the brigade headquarters?" Lao Yao hurriedly asked.

"Go, there is no one in the brigade headquarters, it's all dark, I know that the old secretary has nothing to do and likes to drink tea here, I will sit and chat with you, so I will come over and ask quickly." The fourth captain said as if he was in a hurry.

"No one at the brigade headquarters? Didn't you see sunspots and dog sprouts? Aunt Li was anxious when she heard this, so she hurriedly asked.

"No, there is no one at the brigade headquarters!" The fourth captain stomped his foot and said!

"No, old Yao, it seems that something must be wrong, did you hear the second whip sound? When did you see my brother come back and whip him a second time? The fourth aunt analyzed.

Lao Yao thought for a while and said: "That means that everyone is back, but the dog and the bean sprouts have not come back, and they got into the carriage and left?" ”

"I think so." The fourth aunt said.

Lao Yao stood up, came outside the house, put his finger in his mouth, and a sharp whistle pierced the night sky!

After a short effort, a whistle sounded in the air and went straight to Lao Yao's ears. Lao Yao heard it, and the voice came from the direction of the Grand Canal, and told him that something was wrong. "Everyone wait here for a while, I'll go out for a while, and I'll come and tell you as soon as I have news." Lao Yao said to the people in the house. "Lao Yao, I'll go too." The fourth aunt said. "You're at home, you don't need to."

"Look down on my wife, I'm inactive, I'll be alone with you." The fourth aunt said firmly.

Lao Yao glanced at the fourth aunt, and then said to the fourth captain and Aunt Li: "Then you two wait here, let's go and go back." ”

"No, I'll go too." Aunt Li hurriedly locked the door as she spoke, and the two children, who had never been far away, suddenly disappeared in the night, which made Aunt Li panic.

"Okay, which of us is not the child's father!" Lao Yao said impatiently.

Lao Yao said that Aunt Li stayed there, yes, the dog is left, it is not necessary to say it, just say that the bean sprouts are here, who doesn't treat her as a child? What's the difference between them going and me? I can't walk fast, I can't run and I can't run, isn't it a burden for me to go?

Lao Yao disappeared into the well room without replying, and the skinny fourth aunt followed without ambiguity, and the two figures disappeared into the night like arrows.

"Come back quickly, I have something urgent to find the old secretary!" The fourth captain shouted loudly outside the door.

Before the big green horse could stand firm, Kuroko got off the carriage with an arrow step, and quickly came to the tricycle that overturned to the ground, only to see Kuroko squatting down and checking the traces of the tricycle hitting the railing, because it was dark, Kuroko almost pasted his face to the stone wall.

The carriage stopped, and the old secretary and the big strong father walked around as they walked here, and shouted loudly into the field: "Dogs, sprouts!" ”

The sound spread in all directions, only the detonation did not echo.

"How's Kuroko?" The old secretary and the big strong father quickly came to the tricycle and asked Kuroko.

"The impact was not small, I'm afraid things are not good." Kuroko stood up as he spoke, and set his eyes on the water of the Grand Canal.

The tumbling water of the Grand Canal is surging towards the east, and there is nothing unusual on the huge river surface.

"Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!" Kuroko shouted loudly at the river with all his strength!

"Do you suspect that the two children fell overboard?" The old secretary asked Kuroko.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten! Look at the old secretary, look at this railing, it's just over a meter high, you look at the strength of the impact, the tricycle has been knocked over, they don't care who rides on the tricycle, they will be planted from here, you can imagine the seriousness of the question! Kuroko said.

"Brother, without further ado, let's go and look for it separately, you go around to look around, and I will go to both sides of the river with Kuroko to have a look, hurry up!" The old secretary said to Da Zhuang Dad and Kuroko.

"Okay, I'll look around." After speaking, Da Zhuang Dad looked for the road to the north, and shouted loudly as he walked: "Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!" ”

The turbulent waters of the Grand Canal are rushing, eastward, eastward, with the creepy sound of "whirring" and constantly rushing eastward!

"Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!" The old secretary searched along the north bank, from the river to the riverbank, looking anxiously.

Kuroko searched on the south bank, and the loud call was intertwined with the sound of the deep water of the Grand Canal, adding a different kind of mystery to this mysterious place!

The sprouts jumped from the bridge, the river here is very wide, the current is very fast, and the place where the sprouts jumped is in the center of the river, and the sprouts fell into the water and immediately washed her away, all the way down the river to the east.

When the dog jumped, the sprouts had already floated to the east side of the bridge, and he felt the terrain underwater, but there were no overgrown vegetation or hooked obstacles, so the turbulent water must have washed the sprouts away!

The dog spread out and swam towards the east like a swimming shark.

The depth of the water and the width of the river have created great difficulties for the dog, in the dark night when the five fingers are not visible, in the wide water, his vision is extremely blurry, up and down, left and right, he has to take care of it, which has caused great loss of the dog's remaining physical strength, even so can not give up!

Bean sprouts that don't understand water are like a wooden stick that falls into the water, flying aimlessly up and down, left and right, and letting the river wreak havoc!

She kept her mouth shut, human instinct leaving her with the only remaining desire to survive. Looking, there was only one thought left in her mind, the desire to survive. Hopefully, there is only a struggle left!

I remember telling her that people fall into the water and will not be watery, then hold your breath, don't move, you will automatically float upward, the more you struggle, the more you can't float on the water, if you can change your breath, maybe you won't die!

When Bean Sprouts stood on the railing, she saw the figure of Gouyu rushing towards here, and when she jumped into the river, she heard Gouzu's desperate yelling, "You bastard, you stop me, you're a big bastard!" ”!

Presumably now the dog is also in the water, he is looking for himself in the water, he jumped off the bridge to find himself, presumably with certain confidence, he can't find himself, he will never give up! If he dies, he won't live!

I deserve to die, I shouldn't have come to this world in the first place, my survival can only harm others, what's the point of my life?

The dog was born as if he was a savior, his love is in his heart, his hatred is left in his mouth, he let me die, that is his love for the living, he jumped down again to save me, that is his nature. If I die, will he still live?

The bean sprouts that were determined to die couldn't do so much, she didn't move in the water, she didn't struggle anymore, she was waiting for the last breath in her mouth to run out!

The dog is left swimming in the water, and after a long time, he feels the coldness of the river, thanks to the fact that he is not wearing very thick now, otherwise the heavy clothes are full of water, and the cold river water seeps into the skin for a long time, not to mention the exhaustion of strength, and the muscles will cramp, which is the most fatal thing!

The dog really has no strength, he wants to surface for a breath, and when the oxygen is sufficient, he will not exhaust his physical strength.

Just when the dog left his legs to push up hard, and was about to float to the surface, his head suddenly touched a heavy object on it, and the dog subconsciously looked up to see that it was a person with arms and legs floating above his head!

The dog was shocked, isn't this a sprout? This damn enemy, I'm going to freeze to death from exhaustion, so she's here!

The dog rushed out of the water with all his might, grabbed the back of the bean sprouts, and swam towards the other side of the river!

"Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!"

The cries echoed on both sides of the river, and the dull murmur of the river was in his ears, and the dog dragged the sprouts ashore in desperation.

He couldn't hear any sound, a dead bean sprout was lying on the shore at will, his feet were still soaking in the water, the dog Yu closed his eyes, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes!

"Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!"

"Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!"

The north and south sides echoed the voices of the old secretary and the sunspot.

Da Zhuang's father searched all the way but couldn't find the two children, and he also returned, he felt that Kuroko's judgment was right, and the two children might have fallen into the water.

"Dog leftovers, bean sprouts!" Da Zhuang Dad stood on the riverbed, and also looked for the figure of the old secretary and the sunspot on the river.

The three of them didn't know how far they had walked, so they cried and searched until they finally lost the strength to shout.

They are desperate!

The old secretary glanced at the big strong father who was looking for him on the riverbed, and also walked onto the riverbed, only to see him shouting loudly at the sunspot on the other bank: "Sunspot, go back." ”

Kuroko turned his head to look at the old secretary, then looked at the edge ahead, then turned around to look at the road he had come from, shook his head dejectedly, and walked back on the riverbank.

The old secretary and Da Zhuang's father met, neither of them spoke, and the two of them who were depressed with a heavy heart couldn't speak.

"Kuroko, old secretary, old brother, where are you?"

Lao Yao and the fourth aunt also came to the Grand Canal Bridge after running all the way, they also saw the tricycle, Lao Yao checked the situation, and also concluded that the child had encountered an accident, so the two also concluded that Heizi and the old secretary were looking for the two children all the way on the riverbank.

The roar of the river, the night breeze on both sides of the river, and the shouts of Lao Yao spread all over the two banks of the river, and the old secretary and they all heard this voice. The old secretary looked up suddenly, and saw two people on the bridge, and he recognized one as Lao Yao and the other as the fourth aunt at a glance.

"Old Yao, Fourth Aunt, we are here, walking back there!" The old secretary shouted loudly at the bridge.

Lao Yao and the fourth aunt standing on the bridge followed the prestige, and two small dots on the north bank were walking here, and there was also a small dot on the north bank walking here.

"Did you find it?" Lao Yao saw that they were all walking on the riverbank, and a sense of frustration arose! It's over, they didn't find the child!

"Nope!" The old secretary also shouted at them.

Lao Yao glanced at the distance between them and estimated the time when they came, all the data entered his mind, and he was judging and analyzing all the possibilities.
